In March I will be offering some clinics and fishing in the Argentine Patagonia with Polo Rossi. I’m looking forward to both events. For those looking for a good experience in Patagonia with an Orvis recommended shop, have a good look at the Mendoza Fly Shop: www.mendozaflyshop.com/ Watch this blog for future announcements about the […]
In years past, the International Fly Tying Symposium was held in the ballroom of the Doubletree Hotel in Somerset, New Jersey. This year, because of scheduling conflicts, it had to be moved to the New Jersey Convention Center, just next door. This is the same facility in which the Somerset Fly Fishing Show is held […]
Chuck Furimsky and I were fishing for stripers this morning, but Sandy and the following Noreaster evidently blew them all out to sea. We saw no bait and no bait followers. Perhaps tomorrow we will find a few under the bridges. Then it’s off to the International Fly Tying Symposium in Somerset, NJ.
I spent the weekend with Miami Valley Fly Fishers in Dayton, Ohio. On Sunday I conducted a fly casting class in the morning and a fly tying class in the afternoon. We worked on single-handed casting and two-handed casting with switch rods. Everyone did very well, despite a rather March-like wind howling across the casting […]
The Fly Fishing Show at Pleasanton was an extremely well attended event. The weather really cooperated and all three days were warm and sported clear blue skies. Friday’s crowd was as heavy as the usual Saturday crown, and the Saturday crowd was just plain dense. Sunday’s crowd was also heavier than usual. I gave casting […]
I saw my good friend Capt’n Jake Jordan at the Raleigh Show and he told me of all the recent adventures of fishing for sails and marlin. Here’s a report from his group in Guatemala. Greetings from Guatemala, just to keep you up to date, the fishing has been good to say the least. Some big […]
The Raleigh Show was a great success. Lefty Kreh, Joe Humphries, Bob Clouser, myself, and others offered classes, gave tying and casting demos, and spoke with PowerPoint presentations. Sunday morning I had a couple of hours to tour the show, and bumped into my old friend, Jay Bergan, who owns and operates the Five Rivers […]

I will be offering a casting class, a fly tying class, and giving fly tying demonstrations, casting demonstrations, and Power Point presentations on several topics. There wll also be time to sign books. If you can get there this weekend, stop by […]
Sunday, Day 3, at the Somerset Show started at 8 am when I held a Bible Study for a group of a little over 20 people. It was a great time for everyone. At 10 am I gave a demonstration on tying with a spinning loop. We looked at a Down and Dirty Minnow, a […]
Today opened with a bang. Saturday is always a busy day at Somerset, and today was not different. I didn’t have any programs until after lunch, so I spent the morning talking with old friends and looking at all the gear, tying materials, and fishing venues. Sorta gets one’s blood circulating fast. After lunch I […]
